The End of Things

Here I sit in my bed, on this, my last night of freedom. Tomorrow I return to school.I tried to make the most of my last day. I enjoyed myself some beach time with that husband of mine and a double scoop of Thrifty rainbow sherbet ice cream.

But that all happened after my unsuccessful trip to the Doheny clothing exchange. You see, I had some pants that I was no longer in need of, that I thought I would trade in.

This was now my third attempt to trade in clothes at one of these stupid clothing exchange places. I've been denied every time. This is shocking, I know, considering my keen sense of style. Today my clothes didn't make the cut because the girl was looking for "current fall fashions". Ummmm, since when did pants go out of style? Last I checked, you wear pants in the fall.

This is a very vulnerable position to be put in, having someone scrutinize your clothes. And then to be rejected. I just can't take it anymore. I am officially done with clothing exchange stores.And sadly, I am officially done with summer.

Hi! I'm Mindy. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Here you will find my sporadic musings about life, adoption, homeschooling, Jesus, and whatever other randomness I'm thinking about, along with an occasional post or two from my husband, Nick. Our kiddos, Silas and Junia, were both adopted domestically at birth, and they have made our life unfathomably good. We are loving life as a family of four and are happy to have you along for the ride!
